McDave - I'm curious: I'm running a compact triple, but with a 45T big ring, on a road bike with over the chainstay RD cable routing. I run a Suntour Cyclone MK II FD, but I have to mount it 3 or 4 mm above the big ring, not the most ideal setup for shifting. I tried a Mountech and it was too long. Are you simply not having this problem? I know the High Sierra is a MTB, so the cable guides may be positioned higher for this very reason.
